I used the GtkSheet widget to create the spreadsheet.  GtkSheet is GPLed
code which I pulled off the web & hacked, which is what GPLed code is
for.

GtkSheet has some behaviors which I think are annoying.  However,
gtksheet is tightly bound with gtk.  The whole GUI structure is
complicated, and I am not a master of it.  (It's easier than X,
however.)  

One annoyance is that you can't easily move around a newly selected
cell using the arrow keys.  You must mouse into exactly the spot you
want to edit.  Is this the behavior you also notice?

I intend to fix these (and other) annoyances over the course of time.
Thanks for your feature request.  Please keep them coming; with
constructive suggestions from users I can continue to polish gattrib
to make it a useful tool for EDA.
